SCGS Jamboree - Friday

While Jamboree sessions requiring registration began at 1:30 today, the exhibit hall opened at noon and the morning choices including a tour, a research trip to the SCGS Library, roundtable discussions, and more.

I chose to attend four sessions all concerning Genealogy Society Development. Wow! So much information; SO MANY IDEAS. Too bad I'm not 10 people (or perhaps I need to be 20). Cath Madden Trindle's topic was Projects. Then Schelly Talalay Darshashti spoke about Publicity. George Morgan provided a long, long list of Affordable Member Benefits. We finished with Josh Taylor's presentation about Creating a Website. Most societies have web sites, but Josh gave us great ideas to improve our sites. I wrote notes and more notes.

If you are interested in these presentations, you can order video or audio copies of them by contacting Conference Resource at www.myconferenceresource.com or calling 866-813-2451. No, I am receiving no compensation for this review. However, if you want some exciting ideas to energize your society, you can get them through these presentations.

Welcome

I'm glad you found Karen's Genealogy Oasis blog. Come around the back and share a cool glass of freshly brewed iced tea or lemonade while we sit on the patio and listen to the fountains and watch the birds.

I'd love to share the information I have on family lines as well as research techniques and new discoveries. And let's talk about genealogy activities all over the United States but particularly in Arizona and other southwestern states.

Check out the My Surnames tab at the top of the blog to see which people I am researching. If any of these people look familiar, let's plan on getting together.

Please feel free to write to me. To send me a message write me at karenazgen [at] gmail [dot] com. I hope to hear from you.
